Over at clagnut a nifty feature called “Gravatars” has been enabled. These are globally recognized avatars – you sign up for one for free, and any time you comment on a blog that has enabled them, your image pops up next to your comment. They have a rating system, and you can choose whether or not to allow them using the familiar movie rating codes. my husband David might like this for his WordPress blog, I think it would be fun for mine only if I did some tweaking to have inline comments (instead of the current pop-up window) and…

Yes, the screaming begins anon. There are a lot of people here, a lot of snark to get through. Adam/Rebecca (generic models) Avi/Joe AKA Geeky Guys Don/Mary Jean AKA Team Duffer Freddy/Kendra (generic models) Gus/Hera AKA Daddy/Daughter Kickass Hayden/Aaron (generic models) Jonathan/Victoria AKA Botox/Boobs, Son Of Colin Daughter of Chucky Kris/Jon (generic models) Lena/Kristy (generic models) Lori/Bolo AKA Wrestlemaniacs Meredith/Maria (actual real women) Not all of the generic model teams above are really models – they’re just suspiciously good looking. I had been prepared to dislike the wrestlers on the basis of stunt casting alone, but have decided it might…

Kevin Sites is the reporter who shot the video footage in Fallujah of the Marine who allegedly shot a wounded, unarmed insurgent in a mosque. He also has a photoblog full of amazing, wonderful, and disturbing images. Previously, he was working for CNN, who shut his blog down for a while in 2003. The blog is shut down again, along with the commentary forum, which had predictably enough filled up with screaming ranters of the “Support Our Troops!!! Or Else You Hate Amerikkka!!!!” flavor. I hope he’s able to start it up again. In the meantime, what a mess: The…

Yahoo! News – U.S. channel apologises for Arafat interruption I should think so. I was happily watching the latest CSI:NY episode on TiVo, and we were in the last 5 minutes – the part where all the loose ends are tied up and the “twist” is revealed. And then the earth-shaking news that Arafat was dead (again, but for real this time) came on. Highly irritating, because they hadn’t yet revealed ALL of the plot twists, so I’m in the dark. Fortunately, they’ll repeat it tonight. Must verify that TiVo will pick up on it. For some reason, David and…

since my husband David is quite familiar with the community at DSL Reports, I thought he’d be interested in this item from Boing Boing: Shaw is censoring Internet feeds and lying about it – because DSL Reports did the outing.

Apparently, that young man that gets such a kick out of politics was an elections official at a Pennsylvania polling place. While there he apparently intimidated a female Democratic poll watcher into keeping silent, successfully challenged a homeless man who attempted to vote but left in frustration, and harangued a woman who asked for information about her ballot. The future of the Republican Party. Believe it. Via Jesus’ General

At least one person I know is having a bad day, (in a series of bad days) today. So I give you all The Llama Song. HTH, HAND, ROTFLMAO.

Yahoo! News – Vt. Man Devours 19 Lobsters in 35 Minutes Yep, that pretty much says it all. Rance could probably eat three… maybe. On a good day.

Serenity’s Nathon Fillion does a little press for the upcoming film on Sci Fi Wire: As for his acting style, Fillion said, “I haven’t made any drastic changes or anything. I have noticed that my nose is a lot bigger on screen. It’s like, there are times when if you could put your arms up, that’s about how wide my nostrils are. I’ve always known I have big nostrils, but now I could park a Buick in them.” The above quote is a good indicator of why Nathan Fillion is one of the funniest actors in “the industry.” Also one…
